Other members of the band are Steve Pratschner on trombone, Scott Campbell on alto saxophone, Troy Jennings on tenor saxlphone, Vmce Maiorano on electric gmtar, Bob Larson on tuba and Barry Liss on drums. The Palomar Jazz Band, directed by Billy Hawkins, was one of four bands selected from hundreds across the nation to represent the national convention of the American Associa-

tion of Community Colleges. They will perform at the 1985 convention in April at the Town and Country Hotel, Mission Valley. The program on March 4 will feature mainly contemporary jazz.

Bravura seeks submissions Because of an extended deadline the Bravura, Palomar's literary magazine, is still accepting submissions of original, unpublished poems, short fiction, essays, music and lyrics, artwork and photography for the 1985 issue. Published through the English and Graphic Arts Departments, Bravura is circulated annually in the late spring. Anyone having material should

and gave him a run-down of what the position demands. As part of being a mediator, Farrow will talk to lobbyists and do a lot of public speaking. "One week he (Craig Hall) spoke to 12 different organizations," Farrow said with a touch of apprehension. Each presidential term has eight different student liaisons in the Department of Education, a different student every six months. Farrow's paid position will terminate in September. The 23 year-old man received an application in the mail which was sent to student government executive officers of colleges. Four finalists were picked from the 35-40 applications and resumes received. These finalists were flown to Washington, D.C., for their interviews on February 19. Before leaving, Farrow consulted with Congressman Packard and Assemblyman Frazee about the questions dealing with the Department of Education. Farrow arrived at the state capitol on Sunday evening, February 17. On Monday he met with Packard, watched a parade, toured, shopped and sharpened up for his interview the following day.

By Cyndie Claypool His eyes glittered, a smile spread across his illuminated face exposing a pair of dimples, electricity filled the office. "Are you sure you called the right person?" Kevin Farrow, Associated Student Body president, excitedly spoke into the receiver. Farrow was speechless for a moment before he explained the great changes that would be occuring in his life and at Palomar due to that one phone call he received February 22. Farrow will be resigning in midMarch from his position as president to fill a job he "won" in Washington, D.C., as the Student Liaison officer within the United State Department of Education. The LaCostan will be representing all students and be the mediator between the nation's schools and the Department of Education. "My main job will be as a communicator," he explained. "111 be informing schools about President Reagan's budget cuts." He will also be discovering the needs and concerns of the individual schools. The previous student liaison Craig Hall, whose term ended in March 1985, informed Farrow of his acceptance

required. Concluding the spring offerings will be "Flights of Fancy- An Exploration of Recreational Aviation," Saturday, May 4 and Sunday May 5. The seminar will include the fundamentals and techniques used in soaring, parachuting, hot-air ballooning and ultra-light aircraft. Each area will be covered by an expert. Palomar aviation instructor Jerry Houser will coordinate the seminar from 8:30 am. to 4:30 p.m., May 4. Field trips are optional May 5 from 2 p.m. until late afternoon. A fee of $25 is required. For more information on the spring semester workshops or registration information, contact the Palomar Education Office, 744-1150 or 7277529, Ext. 2155.

The confident Farrow walked into the office "looking good" in his threepiece suit, when he noticed the other three gentlemen, up for the same position, clad in the same type of garments. He knew it was competition. However, all must have gone well in D.C., considering that Farrow will now leave his presidency at Palomar for a student liaison job miles from home. "I really regret not being able to finish out my term," he said sorrowfully. "We (ASB) have had a very successful year." He especially regrets leaving at this prime time of activites, with the May Fair, Physically Limited Sports Day, and the ASB banquet coming up. In his mind, Farrow is already making plans to return to California for the May Fair. Among all the excitement, sorrow, resignations and numerous newspaper and T.V. interviews, Farrow has to make plans for his living quarters in Washington, D.C. However, he is optimistic about finding housing, since his parents and friends have contacts for him in the nation's capitol. The next ASB president has not been decided on as of date, but newly elected vice president Bob Klug will probably be appointed. Four new members were sworn into the Associated Student Body February 20 by president Kevin Farrow at their weekly meeting. Bob Klug has filled the vacant seat of vice president which Danny Pray had left. Klug is currently involved as the director of the Food Bank, chairperson of the May Fair, Public Relations chairperson of Palomar Pepsi seventh annual Physically Limited Sports Day and representative of the Diesel Mechanic club. Shawn Christy and Harold Skinner are the two new senators who were voted in by the seven members of ASB. Paul Dockery joins Mohanned Almuzani as a fellow judicial advocate. The judicial advocates check the constitutionality of everything and act as exofficio members at the Wednesday meetings. Currently , there is one opening for judicial advocate and one opening for senator. Seats were left vacant due to clashing schedules of the previous members. For details on becoming part of ASB, contact Marylin Lunde in R-21A

Classical pianist presents recital Pianist Peter Gach will present a recital on March 10 at 3 p.m. in the Palomar College Theatre. Included in the program will be the world premiere of the "Piano Sonata no. 2" by Sherman Storr, a San Diego composer. The work is dedicated to Peter Gach. Also on the program will be the "Variations on a Theme of Von Sussmayer" by Beethoven; Franz Liszt's "Transcendental Etude no. 7;" J.S. Bach's "Toccata in F# minor;" the "Ballade in G minor" and "Five Mazurkas" by Frederic Chopin. Gach has been on the faculty since 1981. He took up residence in San Diego in 1980 and since then has presented programs of a wide diversity including a Charles Ives recital, prepared piano music of John Cage, a birthday concert for the Polish composer Szymanowske, Bartok's first Piano Concerto and, in Jannuary 1985, the Bach D minor Piano Concerto. Gach attended the University of

Indiana where he graduated with "high distinction" with a Bachelor's degree in both piano and Slavic languages. He also received a Master's degree from the same institution. His teachers at Indiana were Nicholas Zumbro, Alfonson Montecino and Jorge Bolet. Admission to the recital is $5 general, $4 senior citizens. Tickets are available from the Palomar College Box Office, telephone 744-1156, or at the door.

Erratum In the February 22 issue, the Telescope incorrectly reported the scholarships offered through the 1985 Scholarship Campaign as ranging from $50 to $100. The scholarships actually range from $50 to $1000. The Telescope regrets this error.

Board delays early start calendar ByCyndie~l

Due to anticipated monetary problems, the early start calendar will be delayed another year. This was decided 6-0 at the Board of Trustee's meeting on January 8. President Omar Scheidt explains the reasoning of this decision in his report to the Board. "From reports received from other colleges, the implementation of the early start calendar results in a drop in enrollment. "l'he staff has reviewed the possible impact of the early start calendar on enrollment at Palomar College. In a poll of the organizations on campus, the faculty and students are in support of the early start calendar. CSEA (California School Employee Association) recommends that the district maintain the traditional calendar for another year." Last year the Board voted in favor of the early start calendar for 1985'86, saying that they would take another look at it before it was executed, according to David Chappie, Dean of Student Services. The early start calendar would have begun Aug. 19, 1985, ending on December 20 for first semester. Second semester would have been from Jan. 20, 1986 to May 30. Chappie had taken an over-all survey of faculty, students, classified staff and administration, showing an overwhelming preference for the early start calendar.

Because of financial reasons, however, the Board decided to take another look at the subject. This time each group took its own survey, aware that the new calendar plan had a reputation of diminishing enrollment.

According to Scheidt and Chappie, the main reason for changing from the traditional calendar would be to end the semester before Christmas vacation. The mlijority of the faculty feels that this would be better instructionally. According to Chappie, the results of Scheidt said that being able to mesh the second survey differed from the with the four-year universities schefirst. dules is not a main consideration. The administration, which had Although the change in calendars voted -in favor of the new calendar at would aid the students transferring at first, voted against it on the second the second semester, it is not an questionnaire.

Scheidt mentioned that student According to Chappie, the Board apathy also has an affect on the decided against the early start calendar because they thought the people voting for the traditional calendar voted that way out of necessity.

They felt that those students would be unable to attend school if the calendar was changed, then Palomar would lose more enrollment.

Biologist gives presentation LDSSA slates March doings

"Wildflowers of the West," a lecture and slide presentation by instructor Wayne Armstrong, will be offered by the Friends of the Palomar College Library at 7:30 p.m. March 20 at the campus library. Armstrong, who describes himself as a naturalist/ ecologist, received his bachelor's degree in botany and master's in biology at Cal State Los Angeles. He's been a member of the Palomar faculty since 1966. A prolifiic author, Armstrong has had more than 60 articles published in professional journals such as the San Diego Society for Natural History, California Native Plants Society, Westways and Desert Magazine. "Photography always has been one of my favorite hobbies and writing is an exciting, stimulating outlet," the Pasadena, Calif., native said. For this salute to spring, Armstrong's articles in the library collection will also be on display. The presentation is free and parking is provided adjacent to the library. For more information, call the Palomar Community College Library at 7441150 or 727-7529, Ext. 2617.

William Bendix and Brian Donlevy, will be shown at 2 and 7 p.m. March 7 in Room P-32. The film deals with the Battle of Wake Island, in which United States Marines and Navy construction men held off a Japanese attack before finally surrendering. The film is part of the American Film Festival series, presented by Richard Peacock of the Communications Departement. According to Peacock, the film "demonstrates the super-patriotic war films that were produced in the United States" during World War Two. While the island itself was lost, the film shows the losing side in such a way that "it inspires patriotism." "Wake Island" is one of the many films in the American Film Festival series, which demonstrates the progress of American films from the silent era to the present. The series itself is part of a cinema course, "History and Development of American Cinema"

decision since not that many students took the survey administered by the ASB. He stressed that students should voice their opinions through either the ASB or The Telescope. Chappie cited Grossmont and L.A Community Colleges as examples of the decline in numbers on students under the early start. Grossmont went to the early start schedule several years back in "goodtimes" and lost enrollment for a few years. L.A recently changed over and lost enrollment, but that could have been due to the new $50 tuition fee, sumised Chappie. "l'here are several possible causes for the loss of students but it's difficult to say that any one of them is the main factor, "he said. Because of Palomar's current Average Daily Attendance (ADA) problems, the possibility of losing more students will not be chanced. In Scheidt's report he stated, "At Palomar College the enrollment cap was set at 10,283 ADA During 1983-

84 the college generated 9,881 ADA which was 402 ADA below cap. The present ADA projection for 1984-85 is 9,040 ADA, which is 841 ADA below the 1983-84 ADA of9,881. "Present legislation requires the college to make the ADA loss adjustment in the following year. If legislation does not change, the new ADA cap, effective 1985-86 for Palomar College, will be the actual ADA generated in 1984-85 which is estimated at 9,040," concluded Scheidt. The college was not penalized financially for their 402 ADA loss. However, in order to receive the same amount of money it must increase its enrollment or be allocated less money on the basis of the estimated 9,040 ADA Despite the Board's vote, the issue is not dead. It will be looked at again in November or December of 1985, according to Chappie. Board member Mary Burke Trotta said of the decision, "I hope we'll be able to take a look at that again as soon as possible because of the feelings of our faculty and students." Thus, instead of the early start calendar Chappie had ready for next year, Palomar will be continuing with the traditional schedule once again. Next fall the first semester will begin September 4, ending January 24; while the second semester runs from February 3 to June 13, 1986.

London tour set for spring Curtain calls and command performances are assured as The Palomar Community College Theatre will sponsor "Spring Vacation in London," March 28 through April 6.

Guided walking tours through London, day trips to Salisbury and Stonehenge and insightful, backstage tours are also included in this whirlwind travel tour. Possible options for the vacationer include a river trip to Hampton Court Palace of historic Greenwich, a medieval banquet, dinner with professional actors/ playwrights, and a visit to the ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London. College credit is available for this unique experience and the $899 per person ticket has never been lower. The tour will be escorted for the sixth year by theatre director Buddy Ashbrook. Immediate reservation is encouraged as space is limited. A deposit of $500 per person is required. For more information, contact Ashbrook at 744-1150 or 727-7529, Ext. 2453.

Library has tax materials It's tax time again and getting the right form for the right purpose can be a problem. Palomar's Library, in cooperation with other area libraries, is providing a wide selection of federal and state tax forms for the convenience of students, college staff and local community members. In addition to the forms, tax preparation information is available to help the taxpayer interpret problem areas and exceptions which seem to complicate many tax returns. Tax materials are available during the college library's normal hours of operation, 7:30 am. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 7:30 am. to 4 p.m., Friday; and 9 am. to 1 p.m. Saturday.

Worst to first Rookie coach Terri Bamford guides cagers to conference title By Paul Taylor

Quick, somebody wake Terri Bamford up. Someone must have turned her electricity off. Or maybe she forgot to set her alarm clock In any case, she's been dreaming - for about four months. "It's like a dream come true," Bamford said. "I could have never hoped for anything better to happen." First, in case there just a few who are buried in a maze of confusement, an explanation is definitely in order. Last year's women's basketball team at Palomar did an almost-perfect impersonation of the Golden State Warriors. It was, in fact, the Rodney Dangerfield of the Pacific Coast Conference. It didn't get no respect. Got plenty of disrespect, though. These things have a tendency of happening when you win two games-all season-like it did in 1983-84. Then here comes Terri Bamford, fresh off the University of CaliforniaIrvine campus, where she was a player and assistant coach, to save the day, right? Well, right. It wasn't like she didn't have anything to work with. Shoot, she had two returning players back from last year's team. And she was taking over a program that had brought up the rear in its conference the past five years. Piece of cake. So what happens? Not much. The team just blows away all comers, finishing a perfect 12-0 in conference play. That's 12-0, as in not losing a game. The year before, they almost didn't win a game all season, and in conference competition, they didn't. The Comets finished the regular season in Bamford's rookie year with an 18-7 record and a place in the top ten rankings state-wide. Talk about your cinderella stories. Does Disney know about this? They could get some big bucks for it. Steven Speilberg could make it. But, lest this turn into an advertisement for the super natural, be informed that this metamorphisis didn't just happen. The Comets found success the old fashioned way. They earned it. "I knew before the season started that we had a chance to win the conference," Bamford explained. "I had scouted the other teams, and I felt that it would probably be between San Diego Mesa, San Diego City and us for the title. But I didn't expect this (an undefeated season) at all. It's something that comes with hard work" Hard work and a very tough nonconference schedule. Palomar opened by scrimmaging Los Angeles Trade

Tech, last year's state champion, and unbeaten and top-ranked again this year. The Comets lost by eight. "We played some of the best teams in the state early on in December, then we had a bit of a slump," she said of the reasons for her team's 6-7 record outside of the conference. "I think this team has improved tremendously since December, though. Plus, the competition in the conference is a little less than what we were going against earlier. I mean, we lost by eight to L.A Trade Tech in a scrimmage at the start of the season and then lost to them by 20 later on up there, and they were beating everyone else up by 40 or 50 points. "Every other game we lost was really close, too. We gave all those other teams a tough battle." And then, of course, came the conference season, and the title race. Which really wasn't much of a race at all. More like an effort in futility, a chase in vain, for the other teams. The wins came every time her team took the Door, which obviously pleased her, but Bamford made one point clear. "I don't stress winning and losing," Bamford emphasized. "What I really do is stress the fundamentals-shooting, screening, rebounding, passing, things like that - and if everyone is fundamentally sound every game, we'll win. That's what it takes to win ball games, and the players know it. "All I want every game is for the team to play as well as it possibly can. I'm pleased if we play to our potential and still get beat. That means that the other team was better than we were that ·night." That hasn't happened a whole lot this season. A lot of that has to do with the style of play Bamford uses. It is very versatile. If, for example, it is given to them, the Comets will run and fast break a team to death. Slow the tempo down, and Palomar's power game will dominate the action. Sort of like a choice of dying. Want the chair or the chamber, buddy? "We're a well-balanced team," Bamford said. "We can get points from a lot of different people from a lot of different spots on the Door." Given a choice, though, the coach prefers taking the ball inside. "I like to play the power game inside," she agreed. "So the post people are going to get most of the pionts. But when defenses collapse in too much, we have enough good shooters from outside to burn them. "And the people off the bench have really helped, too. We have a very strong bench, one that has improved an awful lot. It's really going to help out a lot, and it has already. There

isn't a lot of difference between the starters and the people who go in off the bench. I can send people into the game and not worry, because there isn't gong to be much of a drop-off in talent." Of course, if there is one player who stands out above the others-both literally and figuratively-it is sophomore six-footer Lakoi Wooten. She is the leading scorer and rebounder on the team, averaging 19 points and 14 rebounds per game, and has already · received scholarship offers from UCIrvine, Washington and USIU. "Koi's a strong, powerful post player," Bamford said of her ace. "She's a very strong rebounder and there's no doubt that she's the best post player in the conference by far. She's a great athlete who played Division I college ball at the University ofTexasEl Paso last year so she really knows what it takes to get things done. And she's really helped our other post players develop." Bamford evaluated her other top players. Pam Calland, freshman-"She's more of a finesse player, like the Larry Bird of Palomar. She's a very intelligent player who has a great attitide and has the ability to play both inside and outside. Her attitude and personality have really helped team morale a lot, too." Calland is second on the team to Wooten, averaging 17 poi.rits and 10 rebounds per outing. Angie Jadovitz, freshman-':An excellent shooter from outside.

DeHoog leads cage rout in a Iaugher Travelog~e pho_tographer , ByPaulTaylor They played basketball in the dome Saturday night when Southwestern and Palomar colleges squared off. Yes, they played. For four seconds. After that they laughed. For the benefit of those in the majority who found better things to do than stick around and watch a Iaugher of a basketball game, the final score was Palomar 89, Southwestern 54. The Comets won the opening tip and Willie White fed Kurt Story for a driving lay-up four seconds into the game. They could have stopped playing after that and saved some time. But they didn't. The hosts just kept on scoring. With less than three minutes gone, freshman guard Duane · Hurd's lay-up made it 8-0. It took until almost six minutes had elapsed before the Apaches scored and then a close shot from Ray Cochrane with 12:26leftbroughtthem to within 8-4. That was as close as they would get though, as the Comets scored six straight in 67 seconds to

makeit14-4. After the Comets had extended this advantage to 16 at 27-11 with 5:36, the visitors made a brief run, narrowing the deficit to 11, 29-18, at 3:54. But Charlie Panos scored five points and Scott DeHoog four in a 9-4 run in 1:47. Jerome Govan's jumper from outside with four seconds left made it 42-26 at intermission. At the opening of the second half, Hurd hit one of two free throws and successive jump shots. Then Panos canned one of his own to give Palomar an insurmountable 51-26lead. After White gave the Comets their first 30 point lead by scoring on consecutive drives, the latter at 9:18, it was garbage time, with all reserves playing the rest of the game. Of the many contributors to coach Andy Gilmour's team Saturday, and there were many--seven of the 10 players scored six points or more--the biggest surprise was the performance of DeHoog. The 6-5 freshman poured in a game high 26 points. "Scott really played well," Gilmour said. "And that's what we really

needed,wasforsomeonetocomeon and take over inside. He had a heck of a game and has really been going to the offensive boards lately. In the game recently against Imperial Valley, we had seven offensive rebounds and he had four of them. He's becoming more and more agressive, which is what we've tried to get him to do. "He is a tremendous talent. He really has the ability to take control of the game, which is what he did Saturday. If he keeps playing like this, he's going to be a very good sophomore for us next year." But it isn't quite time for Gilmour to start looking toward next year. The Comets entered Wednesday's first round of the Pacific Coast Conference's Shaughnessy Tournament against a San Diego City team that has beaten them in both previous meetings. But Gilmour was optimistic going in. "I think they're heatable," he said. "We can't be impatient on offense and we have to handle their press. I think DeHoog could be a big factor too. We're going to need to score some points inside, and he could be a big part of that."

~mazing Sweden

"Amazing Sweden," personally narrated by travelogue photographer Stan LaRue, will be shown March 3 during the Sunday film series at 1 and 3:30p.m. LaRue explores the wonders of Sweden from its southern tip on the Baltic Sea to the civilized wilderness of Lappland in the north. This cinematic journey through Sweden, a country of great contrasts, blends the history of Viking settlers with the fresh, sleek, modern Sweden of today. The largest of the Scandinavian countries, Sweden has a standard of living which ranks among the highest in the world. Yet, for tourists today, it represents one of Europe's greatest travel bargains. Audiences tour a country that's blessed with fertile southern farmlands, vast forests of birch and evergreens, countless beckoning lakes, a multitude of delightful streams and rivers flowing from western mountain chains, fine sandy beaches warmed by th e Gulf Stream, and rugged coastlines.

Tickets are available at the door for $3.50 per person and $3 for seniors and students. For more information, call the Palomar Community College Community Education Division at 744-1150 or 727-7529, Ext. 2153.

will use the scholarship (which covers the full cost of tuition, approximately $6000) to pursue a Doctorate of Jurisprudence at National University during the Fall semester of 1985.

Muchow said that he was working towards the degree "for its academic value alone." While he does plan to take the California Bar Exam, he has no intention of giving up teaching for a career in law. Said Muchow,"I'm looki1lg forward to it. I really love the law."

When asked about her future academic plans, Waggoner said "I'm going to get my MBA out of the way first, and then see where I am." Waggoner said she was "delighted to have this opportunity."
